Other Benefits

Yet even halving a building’s energy demand is not the only major benefit of an optimized SPF thermal envelope. As sprayfoam forms such an airtight barrier, the health and comfort of occupants is also greatly improved, as well as the wellbeing of the building.

Health

Health is also a key factor in evaluating buildings and insulation, and is a major drawback to the infamous asbestos, as well as fiberglass. Spray foam, on the other hand, outperforms all other insulation options by preventing the infiltration of pollutants such as dust, mold, allergens and water. By stopping such pollutants from entering the home, indoor air is both fresher and healthier, and the threat of mold and rot in indoor timbers is greatly reduced, maintaining the integrity of the building.

Comfort

Comfort is extremely important in the home, especially as Americans spend an average of 80-90% of their time indoors. By creating a tight thermal envelope throughout the whole building, SPF insulation maintains an even temperature in all rooms, as well as keeping even humidity between 35-50%. Furthermore, as SPF does not allow any air infiltration whatsoever, it also insulates sound extremely effective, providing both a quiet and temperate home at low energy cost.
